Hi YL
How do you know that the mother is still alive? Who and whom are both correct when the preposition is at the end of the relative clause.

You're right. I was presuming that the mother is still alive. If she has already passed away, then 'believed' would be the word to use.
I would suggest that Masaj let us know whether his/her mother is still alive so that we can decide which verb to use.
The use of 'whom' is formal from what I've gathered from English usage books. 'Who' is also correct, according to some English usage books.
